My AC for my home went out and needs to be replaced. Even when it worked it only worked on the main level and not in the basement. I started out looking for AC units that do not need to be vented for my basement and purchased some 2 in 1 breezewell units. The first one I got worked pretty well. When my main AC went out I thought well maybe as a temporary fix I oould buy a few more. I had bought a 2 in 1Breezewell and a 3N1 Breezewell. The 3N1 was smaller and I was a little disapointed but, I have had no problems with it. The 2n1 unit seemed to be working well and so I thought I would buy one more. The day after I bought the 3rd one the second 2n1 unit quit blowing air after 5 days. Nothing I could do would fix it. I did all the troubleshooting suggestions that came with it. I reached out to the seller with no success and then the third one arrived I thought ok the other one going out must be a fluke so I hooked up the third one relieved that it was working. Until the next day when the third one quit blowing air. Now I was furious. It was hot and I had spent too much money of these units. I contacted Amazon who by the way are the best cutomer service people I have ever worked with. They got me a refund and I was able to order something else. Not trusting the reviews on Amazon I went out to Google and searched for the best AC that did not need to be vented and this little baby popped up on a Bob Vila website on top evaporated coolers. It did not look that great. It did not have the bells and whistles that Breezwell had but, after reading reviews I was convinced enough to give it a try. I live in UT which is a dry climate and the reviews from California and Nevada who have similar hot dry climates were very convinving. When I got it there was nothing to really put together but to attach the wheels on the bottom of the unit and add water. When we turned it on we could tell how powerful it was. It takes 4 gallons of water. But, when you turn the fan on with the pump, the air coming out was very cold. Almost like a refrigerated unit. It cools the entire room down to the point I have to turn it down because it gets too cold. That is without adding ice or anything like what my breezewell was recommending. You can put ice in it but you do not need to. Maybe I will try that on the hotter months. This AC is strong and has strong fan that blows the air out. I do not mind the sounds. I am pretty sure it is a little quieter than the Breezewell that bills itself as a quiet unit. I compared the force of the fan with my working breezewell and this one is stronger, ,colder and I am happy with it. I finally found a unit that really works. So what are the negatives? You have to watch the water level and you will need to fill it up about every 4 hours if you run it all the time. You have to do this with all evaporated coolers from what I can see but, this one uses 4 gallons of water. I will sometimes turn off the pump and put it on fan only to conserve water. There is a way to hook it up to a hose to avoid to having fill it up with water as often. It is still pretty cool without the pump because it is a strong fan. On warmer days you will be glad for the water to cool down the air. Read the directions that come with it and you will be fine. I highly recommend this unit if you live in a dry climate.

I waited until the end of summer to leave my review, so I could have an idea of how this evaporative cooler would hold up after months of use. I live in So Cal, and specifically bought this for work. I work in a large outdoor booth without any kind of cooling. After several summers of suffering from sweltering heat, I finally decided to take the plunge and buy a portable swamp cooler. Initially I was hesitant, as a few hundred dollars is a lot to spend on something I’d likely only use for 3 or 4 months. But I am sooo glad I did! This cooler really does blow out cool air! I was surprised and delighted! The wheels glide across the concrete floor with ease, and the drain is easy to plug and unplug. I don’t have access to a hose, so I can’t attest to how the hose connector works. But it’s very easy to add water manually. And no leaks! You can also add small chunks of ice, although I don’t think using ice made much of a difference. Also, the little window showing the amount of water left in the tank is very convenient. Be prepared for the air flow being strong, and a bit loud. Even on low, which is the only setting I used. Being outdoors a little noise is not a big deal. But I think it might be too loud to use indoors. If I have one thing that’s negative, it’s that the latch on the manual fill door, which is only a tiny piece of plastic, broke after a couple of days. All in all, this portable cooler works great and was worth every penny!

This is a terrific cooling fan, far better and more effective than I had hoped. Very simple to set up, with excellent instructions. It seems like it will have excellent durability, as well. I only deduct one star because it's a little tedious to keep refilling the reservoir throughout the day. It goes through a tank in about 4 hours. Attaching a hose would be pretty questionable inside the house, though of course it would solve the problem outdoors. We are using it as an assist to our central a/c during a pretty serious heatwave. With outdoor temps of 112F to 117F, the a/c just can't keep up. But this cooler is taking the 86 degree air inside, and cooling it down to an almost comfortable 78 -80 in a large room. It is not the recommended set-up, but it is working for us in this heat emergency.

My residence is heated using a hydronic system, providing a pleasant and dry warmth. However, a downside to this method is the resulting dry air within the house. Despite trying numerous evaporative humidifiers, including the largest Venta unit, none were able to consistently maintain a comfortable humidity level. Currently, we operate five humidifiers throughout the home to regulate localized humidity, a task that requires constant refilling. This year, our household was heavily impacted by the flu, exacerbating the discomfort caused by the dry air. Surprisingly, I had overlooked the effectiveness of swamp coolers in adding humidity to the air. I can confidently say that my search for a solution has concluded, as this machine surpasses expectations. It achieved an impressive increase from 25% relative humidity to 65% within just one hour for the entire downstairs area. The positive impact on my family's breathing was immediately noticeable. Despite the name "cooler," the air emitted from the machine is only slightly cooler and not uncomfortably cold. Placing the device in front of a hot water radiator improved the air temperature and helped circulate warm air throughout the house. Initially, there was a peculiar odor, but adding a small amount of essential oil to the water quickly resolved this issue. Recalling my grandparents' large cabinet-like humidifier beside the wood stove, I appreciate that this unit produces a similar trickling water noise. The low setting of the fan is quiet enough not to disrupt activities around the house. Additionally, the ability to set a desired humidity level allows the machine to maintain the fan operation while shutting off the water pump when the humidity falls below the specified level, preventing over-saturation of the filter media. Overall, a very positive first impression!

It's got some noise and uses a fair amount of water per usage, but overall I am very pleased with how it cools! My only beef is that there is no shut off when the water runs out and therefore cannot be used at night. I wish I had know this and would have purchased the other model. I find the directions are lacking, and they need to be more specific on how it is used for indoors. We didn't realize you needed to use it with an open window and the house got so humid it was like a swamp, LOL! Then I had to do some research online and re-read the minimal instructions before I understood how to use it properly. ;)

Primero déjame empezar dejando algo claro: esto no es un aire acondicionado. Este es un enfriador de aire. ¿Cuál es la diferencia? Un aire acondicionado normalmente tiene un respiradero para aspirar el aire caliente y reemplazarlo con aire frío. Cuando usas un aire acondicionado, cierras la habitación y tienes una habitación muy fría. Con esta unidad, que es un enfriador de aire, obtendrás una sunana si cierras todas las ventanas y puertas. Con esta unidad es necesario dejar una puerta o ventana abierta para que circule el aire. Esta unidad se utiliza al aire libre. Como un garaje o un patio. Esta unidad enfría el aire a mi alrededor. Es como un ventilador, pero con aire frío. Coloco la unidad junto a una ventana abierta o junto a una puerta abierta y hace un gran trabajo al enfriar la habitación. También funciona muy bien en el patio.

I barely ever write reviews on here, but am writing this one in case it helps someone. I used this evaporative cooler last summer during a long heatwave in southern Alberta and it made the hot evenings more bearable. Listen, an AC unit will get your room cooler than this, but it also zaps any humidity from the air in the process, draws more power, is less environmentally friendly, and frankly sitting in a heavily air conditioned environment makes me feel a bit weird after awhile. With this unit we were able to get our bedroom three, sometimes even four degrees cooler than the rest of the house. Here’s what we did that was so effective: -place the unit in front of an open window so that it’s drawing air in from there and blowing it into the room -leave the room door open and if possible have a window on the opposite side of the house open to create a cross-current -run the unit an hour or preferable two or three before you want to go to bed to cool the room, then switch the device to fan mode overnight because the tank doesn’t hold enough water to run for more than four hours or so at a time You definitely want to live in a dry climate to use this, you’ll appreciate having that extra humidity. You also want to make sure you have that good airflow I mentioned earlier to really cool things down effectively.

El uso de la función de enfriador evaporativo, expulsa aire muy frío. Lo compraría de nuevo.
